It was a woman's hand that held me for the first time,
that accompanied me to take my first steps
and gave me love and understanding in a caress,
my mother's,
a woman who inspires me and is with me always.


In life, at every step I have taken,  
I have met many hands that have helped me,
many of women.
Every hand that has been offered to me
is an extension of the great heart
of people who are willing to help.

When I emigrated, those hands that were extended to me
of strong and courageous women,
have now managed to weave strong bonds of
of sisterhood, containment, and affection.

In their hands I have found a great friend,
whom I now consider a sister,
and even with whom I feel the sincere embrace
like that of a mother to her daughter.


TAKE MY HAND
is a way to give homage to the women
who have crossed my road,  
capturing their essence through my lens.


Their hands not only contain me,
are the means through which they
express their talent and form ties with other women.


I invite you to meet them.
